Windsor Hill Wood

Location: Windsor Hill Lane, Shepton Mallet

What you do: Almost 10 acres of priority habitat woodland within Mendip AONB that offers residential refuge to people in crisis. We have a maximum of 5 guests living with us at any one time. We also provide learning opportunities and a regular weekly volunteering opportunity. Some suffer from anxiety and depression or struggle with addiction issues, grief, relationship breakdown. Some have been homeless, socially isolated; others have lost confidence and need respite to gain self-worth, learn new skills and feel able to contribute to the community and the wider world.  We offer a therapeutic place of acceptance, mutual sharing of skills- a place to heal, learn and grow through managing the woodland, growing vegetables, animal husbandry, cooking communal meals, green woodworking and carpentry to name a few. 

When you meet: Following a successful application process, guests live residentially in the community together full time. 

Volunteer Afternoons are every Wednesday 2pm - 4.30pm. 

Who can join / volunteer? Anyone!
